Ruya

When I read the bit about his brother's letter, I couldn't help feeling sad. If he had honestly told his brother how miserable he's been, how would Chen Yi have responded? After all, despite the enmity between his mother's family and Chen Yi, although Chen Yi hasn't trusted him, he also hasn't treated him like an enemy.

... and this is also emotional abuse. If the other party is already an independent adult, that's one thing, but this is really too extreme to be saying to a child, especially as a parent. Even though he is wrong, it's his parents' responsibility to be patient and persistent in correcting his mistaken perspective. Running away because she's disappointed, distressed, or confused without doing anything to make sure his emotional and psychological needs are being met is negligent, and her words to drive him away are outright abusive.

And they still don't know if there is any real-world feedback for progress made "in-game."

Why does Tao Rongye feel a bit like a mad dog biting everywhere? Shen Yan only witnessed him dropping his facade, hasn't done anything to harm him, and he's already determined to humiliate her. Isn't that a little too neurotic?

Right? He shows no consideration for his own future here. Showing an excellence at the start, which he can't possibly maintain, is setting himself to be viewed as a failure who only disappoints his teachers. Instead, he would be better served by simply demonstrating his optimal performance, making decisions in line with his character, as well as the teachers' expectations and ideals.
